Wow... I am beyond stunned. This is truly one of the nicest things that anybody has ever done for me. A million thanks are due to everyone who pitched in to help make this happen - you are all amazing people, and I can't wait to finally meet some of you at the brunch!

I filmed a little message for you guys:

In which I repeat myself, stumble over my words, forget things that I meant to say, use the word "amazing" way too much, and generally make myself look dumb. Maybe I should have had a teleprompter... (There doesn't seem to be a way to embed it, so you'll have to click on the image. Sorry for the poor quality, I had to jump through hoops with it to get it small enough to upload! Also it cut off the beginning when I said "hey Inforoo!" so now it sounds like I started my video with a high-pitched "roo!" Oh well.)

Anyway, I didn't feel like I had said quite enough thanks to Scrog and co. yet, but I also wanted to thank the rest of Inforoo for being so incredibly awesome, so I figured maybe a video was in order.

I truly can't believe this - I would say something like "you don't know how much this means to me" or "you can't imagine how excited I am," except that, well, you guys DO know. You guys all know what Bonnaroo means, and I'm sure you all CAN imagine how excited I am to be able to go when I thought I wasn't going to be able to, when I thought I was going to have to miss the big 1-0 for Roo!

So I can only hope that you all think I'm worth it. I'm not remotely deserving of such an incredible gift, but hopefully you guys won't completely hate me for it!

A million thanks to Scrog, to his anonymous donators and the ones who helped him with this, and to all the other posters who offered to chip in money and supplies. I'm SO THRILLED that those other posters made it possible for Cap'n Jack and Lono to share the wealth!
